Description
Now remarkably in its
27th edition, ever since it was first published in the 1960s every
edition of Wrecks & Relics has been eagerly sought after by aviation
enthusiasts, restorers and curators alike. It is renowned as the go-to
source charting the highlights, changes and trends in the preservation
of the aviation heritage of the British Isles. With in-depth coverage of
more than 700 locations across the UK and Ireland, it charts over 5,000
aircraft including their potted histories, build and arrival dates.
Wrecks
& Relics is the only publication required to discover the
incredible aeronautical treasures found across the United Kingdom and in
Ireland. It provides a trusted, comprehensive rundown of museums and
their exhibits - static or flying - workshops, military ‘gate
guardians’, stored and instructional airframes. It also reveals
redundant airframes being used for the most unlikely of purposes,
including for ‘glamping’ and at paint-ball sites.
Each edition is
profusely illustrated with both colour and black and white photographs
and is fully indexed easing a search of where to go over the weekend, or
where to find an extant example of a favourite aircraft. Whether it
travels in the car or sits on the book shelf Wrecks
& Relics will
prove to be a vital and faithful companion to the aviation heritage of
the British Isles which will be referred to again and again.
